The volume of gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure. If the volume is 32 cubic centimeters at a pressure of 8 pounds, find the pressure when the volume is 60 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V be the volume of the gas and P be its pressure.  

The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas:  

    V = k/P

VP = k, where k represents constant temperature

Given the volume is 32 cubic centimeters at a pressure of 8 pounds

where V1 = 32, P1 = 8 ... (1)

The pressure when the volume is 60 cubic centimeters,

V2 = 60, P2 = ?  ... (2)

Comparing eq (1) and (2)

V1 P1 = V2 P2

32 (8) = 60 (P2)

256 = 60 (P2)

P2 =

P2 = 4.26 pounds

(2,20) means that the 2 is 2 hours and 20 is 20$. so there both 20$ for 2 hours only the same price. like it says. so, the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same price (20$) for the same amount of time (2 hours).

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
